The defeat was expected. The lack of competitiveness after just one bad half. At the Forum, the Italian champions dominate the match: 100-75. Dinamo, after a good start, seems too light to oppose the Italian champions. Only Fobbs and Halilkovic manage to provide a performance above sufficiency. The new mediocre performance of the play Bibbins and the center Renfro is worrying.
This time coach Markovic starts with Halilovic as pivot instead of the lighter Renfro and it is the Bosnian who scores the first basket, followed by the triple by Fibbs who scores the triple for +5 but also the second foul after not even a minute and a half, and has to give way to Tambone.
Unfortunately the white-blues miss two open bombs and are overtaken: 6-5 at 3' . Banco gets back to +4 with Tambone but Bendzius also commits his second foul and the coach prefers to insert Renfro as "4". Sassari gets a partial of 8-0 with the light quintet where the wing LeDay is the pivot. Markovic responds by removing Halilovic and inserting Udom. The former Diop also enters the field. LeDay goes wild: 23-14.
In the second quarter, Milan plays smoothly and doubles the white-blues: 28-14. Only Halilovic is up to the task and holds the fort . Banco shoots poorly from three (1/10) and Armani closes the gap: +15 at 14'. Vincini makes his debut, but against Mirotic it's very tough. Sassari is mistreated and ends up at -26. In the third quarter the gap becomes embarrassing: -31. Halilovic and Fobbs (the only one who scores from three) try to save at least their honor but really the game is over.
